Sonia Cervantez has been a full-time employee since August of 2015 and loves being our Accounts Receivable. She began her journey with ABGA in 2006 as a Registrations Clerk, which was short-lived just due to not coming from a goat industry background. She then had the opportunity to come back as Accounts Receivable several years later and to this day still loves that role. Sonia made the hard decision to leave in October of 2014 to focus on being a full-time mom and wife. In May of 2015, she was welcomed back to ABGA with open arms as a Contract Laborer and was later transitioned into a full-time employee because it felt like home to her. Now, years later, she still enjoys coming to work and interacting with the members who have now become a part of her family. Her favorite part is the relationships she’s built with the members. Sonia has been happily married for 20 years and has one daughter. She’s bilingual and loves spending time with loved ones, going to church, watching movies, dancing, playing games but her all-time favorite thing to do is makeup. John 3:16 is one of her many favorite Bible verses. < Back Sonia Cervantez Accounts Receivable Email All work orders must be submitted to mail@abga.org , or through our Contact page .
